I'm using GIMP 2.10.32 on Windows 11 and until a week ago I had no problems scanning in old photos. However, now when I try to scan a photo GIMP starts the scan appears to complete the scan, but it no longer brings the image into GIMP.

I reinstalled GIMP but that didn't solve my problem.

About 17 years ago i've written a little script "toglayvis.scm" which i myself use very often.
Meanwhile this script is being shipped with GIMP - releases.
Now the upcoming GIMP 3.0 has a new concept regarding layers.
My script uses the chain symbol as a tag which isn't existent in GIMP 3.0 anymore.
The chained layers build the the group of involved layers.
Toggleing happens between the layers WITH and the layers WITHOUT an eye icon.
So i can see differences with one click (keyboard shortcut)


Here's a gif what it does:

   

Does anybody know if a similar functionality (toggle the visibility of layers) will be provided by GIMP 3.0 ?

Hi,

I'am new on the forum and have a question. I recently upgraded my Linux Xubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS. 20.04 had GIMP 2.10.18 in the repository and gimp-gmic 2.4.5-1.1. On 22.04 I have GIMP 2.10.30 with gimp-gmic 2.9.4-4build1. I very much liked the "Simple Local Contrast" filter, which has disappeared in the new release. Any ideas how to get it back?

I also have the same problem with the resynthesizer plugin anyone seems to encouter. The solution for 20.04 does not work for 22.04. I'm not a fan of the appimage solution because that doesn't integrate well with my system and makes it harder to use other plugins.

Any ideas appreciated!

Bart.

I want to have gimp help automate the create of 512 square images. Gimp would open each image file in a directory, the user would make a square selection, press a hotkey, and gimp would rescale that selection to 512 by 512 and save it to a different directory.
I (used to, it’s been a few years) know how to open each file in a dir, scale, and save. I don’t know how to GIMP-PYTHON a moveable selection, or to have a hotkey trigger further processing.
I have gimp 2.10.32 (revision 1), but I’m willing to try pre-release gimp 2.99 if that will be much better at what I’m trying to do.
Thanks!

What happened to this PixLab thread posted recently in tutorials?

Why was it removed?

Since I use gimp 2.10.32 the program sometimes close without any warning. On a certain point the screen layout becomes lighter and a few seconds later gimp close. There is not always a crash report to find but if there exist one it mostly starts with an error in module ntdll.dll (some examples) : 
- gimp-2.10.exe caused a Stack Overflow at location 00007FFA7AEDB69A in module ntdll.dll.

I'm trying to export a project with 2 layers as a png or jpg and it looks like only one of the layers( or even part of one layer)  is being exported.  I tried to "merge down" the layers and then use the rectangle selection tool to select the entire image.  no workie.  would appreciate any help/advice.  GIMP 2.10.32 on windows 10 64 bit.  total newbie.  please be gentle.

Some persons don't like learning to use gimp properly or don't like gimp at all... We are living in a free world, so, no harm. But a little help is available here : https://www.careeraddict.com/real-magic-...a-magician
